Webster Groves Missouri Real Estate

Lively neighborhoods and some of the metropolitan area's finest retail opportunities are two of the attractions to Webster Groves.  This active and diverse community dating back to the pre-Civil War era continues to attract families and businesses to a comfortable suburban lifestyle.  Quality schools, wonderful parks, intriguing theater, and active civic and social groups make Webster Groves a comfortable and family oriented choice.  Small business districts deliver goods and services with old-fashioned friendliness and modern efficiency.  Wonderful retail areas like Old Orchard and Old Webster contrast with contemporary shops.  Lovely historic homes as well as many small brick bungalows provide a diversity of desirable housing options in a nostalgic, picturesque setting. Numerous three-story frame houses separated from the street by large sweeping lawns characterize the neighborhoods.  An amazing 300 homes in Webster Groves are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  Among them is the magnificently restored Hawken House, circa 1857.  Located just 15 minutes from downtown St. Louis, the city's beautiful oak, maple, and elm trees have earned the community numerous Tree City USA awards.  Other regional highlights include the notable Webster University and Loretto-Hilton Theater showcasing the Repertory Theater St. Louis and Opera Theater of St. Louis.
